I am also experiencing memory loss as I age (even before the radiation) and one of my high school friends was just asking me about it the other day -- He's having loss also.

I suspect it is even worse when we are stressed (or depressed) because our subconscious is busy worrying about something and won't allow our conscious brain enough power to remember stuf.
